I'm a Trek fan, so please don't excommunicate me, but what strikes me from so many of the still shots of episodes, on this thread, is that this is just a bunch of people playing dress-up and pretend.

Stills lack the propulsive force of video, and show cheesy costumes and props too clearly. So they aren't for everybody.

Yes, her table manners are lacking.
I find it consistently amusing what 1960s TV creators though people would be wearing in the 23rd Century. Much of it would pass for fetish-wear.
Come to think of it, it wasn't just the '60s either. This problem persisted with TNG and subsequent Trek series. One of my favorites is Daniels' odd outfit from the 33rd Century:

Yank,
That wardrobes in the episode were a bit out there, even for 1960s / 2260s Trek.
Producer: What do we have on hand?
Costume designer: Just a couple of orange mud flaps from a Plymouth Barracuda.
Producer: OK, see what you can do.

There's a town named Troy near us. Inspired by this episode, my wife and I took to calling the inhabitants 'Troyan pigs.'
